Since I started traveling, I always told everyone that I am not ready for Europe yet as I love to explore Asia more than anywhere else. But 7 years has passed since then, I have seen a lot of amazing place in Asia. Next year 2017, I can say that I am ready for Europe.
If Traveloka approves my leaves to London as my dream destination or #MyTravelokaEscapade, here a few things I want to do in London.
1. Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter
As I had been one of the Harry Potter fan, this is my dream place to be. I always imagine I one of the student in Hogwarts. The actual Great Hall is surely amazing and stepping into Dumbledore's office is one of the things you need to do once in your lifetime.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an
amazing new opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter™ films –
the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour
takes you behind-the-scenes and showcases a huge array of beautiful
sets, costumes and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets,
including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made
these films so hugely popular all over the world.
2. The Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9¾
Recreate the Hogwarts Express scene on
Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station in Central London, where Harry's big
wizard adventure began.
Step inside the magical shop that has been designed to look like Ollivander's wand shop from JK Rowling's books. Find all the Hogwarts, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff merchandise a true fan could ever want.
As well as collectibles such wands, time turners and Triwizard cups, the shop also stocks Hogwarts school jumpers in the house colours, bedding and blankets featuring your favourite school house, fancy dress costumes of all your favourite characters, and full sets of robes. Look out for the eighth story in the Harry Potter canon: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts I & II.
There are also smaller items like board games, key rings, mugs, mobile phone cases, soft toys and action figures, suitable for more modest budgets.
Harry, Hermione, Ron and even Voldemort can all be found somewhere in the store as well, so keep focused.

3. Coca-Cola London Eye
I love gondola and Londo Eye is one my bucket list!
The Coca-Cola London Eye is centrally
located in the heart of the capital, gracefully rotating over the River
Thames opposite the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.
At 135 metres, the Coca-Cola London Eye is the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel; a feat of design and engineering, it has become the modern symbol representing the capital and a global icon. The experience showcases breathtaking 360-degree views of the capital and its famous landmarks and has been the number one visitor experience in the city for the past decade.
4. British Museum
"National Treasures" is one of my favorite movie, and I love ancient artifact. I will not miss to visit British Museum.
One of London's top free attractions, and considered its top museum by many, the British Museum is both an architectural beauty and a trove of some of the world's most noted antiquities. From the Rosetta Stone to the Elgin Marbles to the Lindow Man, the British Museum is a history buff's treasure trove containing artifacts in the millions.
Trafalgar Square is home to Nelson's Column, iconic stone lions, the famous Fourth Plinth and a lot of pigeons.
It's a must-see destination for visitors to London. You'll often find cultural events, performances, shows and other special activities going on in the square by the fountains. At Christmas you'll find the biggest Christmas tree in London, an annual gift from the city of Oslo.
6. Tower Bridge
I can imagine myself taking a video at the bridge with "London Bridge" as a background song.
Tower Bridge is London's next must-see architectural marvel, not to mention the most famous bridge that crosses the Thames. Built a mere 120 years ago, the bridge not only stands out for its stunning detail but moveable roadways that lift up when large ships need to pass through. The views from the bridge are an added bonus.
7. Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is the Queen's official and main royal London home. It has been the official London residence of Britain's monarchy since 1837. Queen Victoria was the first monarch to live there.

Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms including 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms.
8. London Underground
London's public transport network, local
called the London Tube, is divided into nine travel zones. Zone 1 is in
Central London and zones 6 to 9 are on the outskirts of the city.
